Organizer: Toxics Link In collaboration with India International Centre

Venue: Conference Room I, India International Centre, Lodhi Road, New Delhi.

Description:

“A little water is a sea to an ant.” An eco system is made up of many small parts, which could be erroneously thought of as insignificant. Within the intersection of mega scale urban planning and the impacts of climate the almost lost traditional water systems of Delhi need to be revisited urgently. The imminent challenge is to explore these water systems in the context of new urbanizations, and evolve meaningful ways in which they can coexist, for ecological security.
